After our one-to-one conversations with Jim Davidson of Accelya, Sean Corkery of Datalex, Bryan Porter of OpenJaw Technologies, Surain Adyanthaya of PROS and Andy Kidd of SAP our final podcast of this series is a definite highlight. We managed to gather all five for a final ‘virtual’ roundtable to wrap up and provide an interesting outlook for our industry.

Finally, we spoke with Andy Kidd from SAP. Andy outlined how airlines, especially in Asia, have circled toward digital, and how this will benefit them in these challenging times. He further elaborates on how the customer experience is affected and can be improved with ONE Order.

PROS’ Surain Adyanthaya was our fourth guest. With PROS’ growing ecosystem from revenue management to airline digital retailing solutions, their view on the market, especially with the insights into their customers’ revenue management strategies, was very interesting.

We kicked off our discussion with Jim Davidson, Chief Product Officer at Accelya. After the acquisition of Farelogix through Accelya, Jim has taken the challenge to work on setting up Accelya to offer end-to-end retailing, from offers to selling, delivery to settlement. Our favourite quote from Jim: “The concept of retailing is proven to be resistant even to the pandemic… the concept is still trying to match those services that are best equipped to the needs of the flying customer.”
